Is it now possible to assign static IP address to Windows Phone 8.1 to connect to Wi-Fi?

[Andrea Gizzi]

Hi everyone.

I bought a nokia lumia 930 and i'm very happy of it, but I need a static ip address, because my home network has lot of device (20 device) and 2 range extender, so I need to use a static ip address.

I see that on this system it isn't possible (it's embarassing -.-) so I'm asking you if you can help me, since I can't use my phone at home...

I have a router netgear dgnd3700 and 2 range extender.

Thank you in advance

The functionality is there, your OEM just chose not to enable it (which sucks).

Google for ""windows phone Enable static IP" and you should find a development page explaining it.

I tried the "Static IP" app and it worked, although I had to disable the DHCP server in my network, which is an insane situation. I just want to have my phone using a different IP and gateway.

Use a DHCP reservation based on the phone's WiFi MAC? Its what I do on my work network.
